API Keys
You can use the test API key "1" during development of your app (see test links below)
However you must apply for a key a production API key before releasing your app to the public. This can be done under the 'Devs' top menu.

Below find complete instructions for using our JSON API. All example links use the test key which should only be used during development or for personal apps. You can request a production API key by clicking this link and following the instructions in this thread. Our API is free but consider a yearly donation if your app is commercial.
